The cell formation problem is a classic optimization problem devoted to the manufacturing industry. Such a problem proposes to divide a manufacturing plant in a set of cells, where each cell is composed of machines which in turn process product parts. The goal is to design a plant division in such a way the need for part interchange among cells is minimized. The idea is to reduce cost and increase...
The machine-part cell formation (MPCF) problem is to organize an assembly as a set of cells, where each cell contains certain machines that process a sub-set of parts. In recent years, different types of metaheuristics have been used to solve the problem of MPCF. This publication focuses on solving the MPCF problem using a metaheuristic inspired on birds, called Migrating Birds Optimization (MBO)...
